PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

Rank this season's contestants on a 1-10 scale in the following categories:

Physical includes: performance in activity-based challenges (and public perception as a challenge threat), the amount of gruntwork contributed to the tribe, raw strength and endurance.

Mental incorporates: understanding of both the game's dynamics and the players in it, logic-based plays, performance in thought-based challenges, innovation, knowledge of local environment and hazards, idol usage (where applicable), raw intelligence and perception.

Social can factor in: the ability to construct and maintain alliances, emotion-based plays, food providing (more of a social play than anything else), relationships with other players, raw charisma and presence.

Remember: these are extremely subjective. This is your personal perception for the contestant, and ratings are going to vary. Based on prior history, people generally manage to agree on player names... Regardless, rank 'em and then rank on 'em to justify the numbers. It's sort of cleansing.

20. Sugar - P2, M2, S4 - (8)Fairly useless physically but tried hard. Mentally did nothing to advance herself. Socially she was fairly likable, but not enough to get by the first vote.

19. Stephanie- P6, M3, S4 - (13)Always physical, but it never seems to matter. Mentally did nothing to succeed in the game. Socially was somewhat hamstrung. Again, not enough.

18. Randy - P2, M4, S2 - (8)Sugar's male equal. I give him a 4 mentally for at least trying to save himself by suggesting Parvati. Always a disaster socially.

17. Cirie - P5, M7, S6 - (18)Physically rather useful during team challenges. Mentally strong but foolishly changed her game and paid for it. Socially good but not enough to change anything.

16. Tom - P6, M7, S5 - (18)Physically strong but not as good as in Palau. Mentally as sharp as ever. Socially decent but same as Cirie.

15. Tyson - P6, M5, S7 - (18)Always decent physically. T is a smart guy but made a huge mental error here. Socially his game is underrated as he had given himself the ability to go in a couple different directions.

14. James - P8, M3, S4 - (15)Didn't play very well this time. Strong as always, poor mental game as usual, but this time lacking social play as well.

13. B-Rob - P9, M8, S8 - (25)Physically dominant again. Mentally very sharp. Though he had never played against an HII, his split the vote plan was perfect to deal with it. Socially the best game he ever played. His very attitude seemed to lift the Villians.

12. Coach - P8, M5, S6 - (19)Much improved physically. Mentally improved as well but flawed in the end. Socially, much better liked this time around.

11. Courtney - P2, M4, S6 - (12)Pretty much the same as in China, though maybe a tad better socially.

10. JT - P6, M6, S5 - (17)JT stepped back in probably all 3 categories. Not as physical, too many mistakes mentally, and his overaggressive play cost him socially.

9. Amanda - P5, M5, S8 - (18)Always a social star and decent physically. She made too many mental mistakes this time around though.

4. Jerri - P5, M6, S7 - (18)Strong game for Jerri. She made several crucial moves, though she may have outthought herself with eliminating Danielle. Socially her best game ever.

3. Russell - P6, M8, S5 - (19)Mentally almost perfect except for a couple key mistakes. Socially, he is strong when it comes to his own alliance, just an abject failure with the jury.

2. Parvati - P8, M8, S6 - (22)Strongest game physically for Parvati. Also a great performance mentally. Socially she was not as good as prior seasons. She just accepted herself as a target and hardly seemed to try socially.

1. Sandra - P1, M8, S6 (15)Might have played the best mental game, arguably. Socially, she was better than PI, but not by much.
